I don't see any reason we shouldn't have a legal status that allows a committed couple to enjoy all the legal rights, privileges, and status granted to a married couple, including owning community property, inheritance, etc., all of it.But I'm not in favor of changing the definition of the word "marriage". Marriage is a Judeo-Christian institution that has for centuries had a specific definition, rules set, etc. Those that ascribe to that theology hold the institution of marriage to be sacred, and blessed by their Creator. Are there examples of people who profess that theology who have violated the rules of the institution? Yes, many, in fact. Even so, by what right do others who believe differently have to take that word, and make it fit their new definition? What is the rub with using a different word to define a different relationship?

Why should gay people get all the "priveleges" of marriage without the responsibilities? I don't care for the concept, but I think let them get married and be committed, so to speak, like the rest of us. But...let's see what happens when an older man applies for official government permission (known as a "marriage license") to have sex with an underage boy.

Marriage does have a specific meaning. Call it something else. I really don't want to have to explain to people in the future that when I say I'm married, that it's to someone of the opposite sex...just to accommodate and not "offend" the huge number of guys in this country that want to put things in other guys' behinds.

I am waiting for the HIV to mutate. Now that sodomy is legal when can we start stopping the persection of people born with a sexual attraction to cows? I find one as repulsive as the other. I guess as time passes things will continue to liberalize and sexual practices that even the most liberal will not accept today will become acceptable in the future.

When I was a poor teenager my mode of transportation was hitchhiking. On a few occasions the rides I got were rump rangers wanting to get into my digestive track. I had to jump out of a moving vehicle on a couple of occasions. Never did a female seeking sex give me a ride. The point is that fudge packers are sick and should be taken to the gates of the city and stoned/hanged. This is one belief that I agree with the Muslims on.

Why should it be any of my business what happens in someone else's bedroom. We should allow them marriage. That way they will have privy to divorce as well. Go New York. Hopefully Texas will eventually decide to follow suit. It wasn't to long ago that it was against the law to be homosexual in Texas.

If all people were made by god, then that includes the gays. Anything that god made must have a little bit of god in them, which means god must be a little gay himself. So whenever you see a rainbow, it probably means god is having gay sex.

Son, sodomy is how every Baptist girl I ever dated that wanted to stay a virgin got to stay one. Legal or not, it's been around a while. You should try it.

As for marriage being so holy--try using that argument once it's treated as holy and Christians stop divorcing or fooling around left and right. Hell, even Mr. Christian Newt Gingrich (and others like Joe Barton) have divorced, while claiming that marriage is holy.
